I believe that life exists to be enjoyed and that the most important thing is to feel good about yourself.
Each person will have his or her own vehicles for both, and those vehicles will change over time. For some, the answer will be working with orphans, and for others, it will be composing music. I have a personal answer to both—to love, be loved, and never stop learning—but I don’t expect that to be universal.
Some criticize a focus on self-love and enjoyment as selfish or hedonistic, but it’s neither. Enjoying life and helping others—or feeling good about yourself and increasing the greater good—are no more mutually exclusive than being agnostic and leading a moral life. One does not preclude the other.
Let’s assume we agree on this. It still leaves the question, “What can I do with my time to enjoy life and feel good about myself?”
I can’t offer a single answer that will fit all people, but, based on the dozens of people I’ve interviewed, there are two components that are fundamental: continual learning and service.
